Favourite skater?

So, longboarding/downhill skating is becoming more and more of a followed sport now days. Watching Win sport on the internet streamed live really brought that home. People all cheering for their favourite riders, their favourite teams and staying up to un godly hours of the morning to watch the action and find out the results. Although it's still

You know the first time I met James was on the starting line at Cathlamet and he was showing me his gnarly staph infection that would flare up whenever he put his leathers on! Grosssssss!

Cheers for your input!

Stephen Daddow, Jamie & Pokey Gwillim, Arbi Tobin, Matty Leadfoot, Mike English, The Chad, Rob McWhinnie, Cameron Kite and Ben Hay. All local boys who in my eyes make themselves and the knowledge they impart to the groms quintisential to the development of this sport in Australia. No question is too stupid for them to answer and are always willing to assist you on techniques when asked. They are the heart and soul of the downhill family.
